Chapter 957: Nine Star Realm (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations
The glory of the North Country.
Thousands of miles of snow drifted. A lone boat with a straw bamboo hat was seen fishing alone on a cold river. The bone-piercing cold air drilled into the raincoat from all directions like knives. If it were an ordinary person, they would have long been frozen to the point of no feeling on the surface of the cold river. However, Luminarists, even Luminarists who had just lit their Life Lamps, would have endless warmth growing in their bodies.
It was rare for him to come to Feng Nation. Shen Ping had been staying in the Cold River with his wife, Yang Yimo, for the past few days. He took pleasure in fishing and enjoyed the rare scenery.
Inside the exquisite carriage, with the furnace steaming, the two bodies intertwined with each other and were closely connected. Every time, it could make the carriage shake violently. It would only stop when layers of water appeared on the white skin of Yang Yimo.
They did not stop along the way, regardless of spring, summer, autumn, and winter environments.
Yang Yimo panted and said coquettishly, “Husband is so good to me.”
It was already not bad for ordinary couples to be in love for seven years. Most of them could not last for more than three years. After all, anyone would feel tired of eating the same food every day. Therefore, the relationship between husband and wife would usually develop into family in the end.
The pleasures of sex would also go from daily to monthly, and then every year. Not to mention long-lived Luminarists like them. Many luminarists have many wives and concubines. One doesn’t spend their energy on a wife. However, Shen Ping was different. Even after more than a hundred years, he was still as energetic as a dragon and tiger on their wedding night.
“You’re my wife. If I’m not nice to you, who should I be nice to?”
Yang Yimo leaned into Shen Ping’s arms. Cold air poured in from both sides of the carriage window, but it was blocked by the stove. “I know what’s good about you, husband, but you have to take care of Sister Luo Lin.”
Shen Ping nodded. “After this tour of the seven countries, I’ll dote on Luo Lin.”
The Pupil of Flame Beast was also very important to him. Even if he did not need to comprehend fate like before in this world, this strange beast talent would be extremely helpful no matter what. “Can you do it again?”
“Ah… Husband, I, I can.”
Soon, the carriage shook. The cold wind outside was even stronger. Not only could the furnace withstand the cold wind around it, but it could also warm the horses. As soon as the vengeful spirits nourished by the river approached, they were burned to ashes.
Just like that, another 50 years passed. There are seven kingdoms in the world. Although they were constantly at war with each other, they had always maintained a balance.
Under the push of Shen Ping, the Yun Nation became richer and richer. Its national strength increased day by day, and it became an overlord country. The weakening Yan Nation finally decided to join forces with the surrounding countries to attack the Yun Nation. This was to weaken the national strength of the Yun Nation and make it lose the right to become an overlord country.
The Yan Kingdom’s decision was indeed correct. However, the Yun Country also needed such a war to establish its status as the overlord country. Both sides had mobilized more than 1,000,000 troops under Lingzhou City.
The war lasted more than ten years. It completely exhausted the accumulation of the Yun Nation over the years, but in the end, it barely defeated the alliance army of the Yan Nation and the other countries and successfully replaced the Yan Nation as the overlord country.
“For the sake of the peace of our Yun Country for hundreds of years, this war is worth it!” The monarch of the Yun Nation faced Shen Ping with a determined gaze.
Since they became a hegemony, all the countries around the world have to pay tribute. Moreover, the Yan Kingdom could no longer pose a threat to the Yun Nation. Although this battle had exhausted nearly 40% of the Yun Nation’s young strength, from the final outcome, it was indeed worth it.
However, that might not be the case for the commoners.
Shen Ping could not judge anything. “Since the war is over, I hope that the entire country can have ten years of tax exemption to let the people take a breather.”
The monarch of the Yun Nation nodded. “Alright, no taxes for ten years, no increase in taxes for twenty years, and half the taxes for fifty years.”
On one hand, it was for the sake of Shen Ping’s eight-star high-grade Luminarist. On the other hand, the Yun Nation indeed needed to recuperate after this war.
He left the capital and went back to Lingzhou City. Looking at the descendants of his family, he gave them a few pointers and sent them away. He opened the virtual frame. His gaze swept over and finally stopped on the various Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
[Metal: Progress (Complete)]
[Fire: Progress (Complete)]
[Earth: Progress (Complete)]
[Water: Progress (70%)]
[Wood: Progress (83%)]
…
[Five Elements: Progress (47%)]
[Yin-Yang: Progress (31%)]
[Reincarnation: Progress (35%)]
[Chaos Hole: Progress (17%)]
[Fate: Progress (3)]
In terms of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao alone, they had basically reached more than 70%. As for the high-level Great Daos, such as Five Elements, Yin Yang, Reincarnation, they were generally around 30%. Only the Great Dao of Chaos Hole had not reached 20%.
According to Lord Yin, if he wanted to control the corpse puppet in the blue palace world, he had to have 30% of the top Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Otherwise, it would damage his true spirit.
Fortunately, in the past 50 years, relying on his relationship with his wife, the virtual frame had also undergone a metamorphosis. Although it had yet to reach the highest black crown, it was already a purple virtual frame. Therefore, with the enhancement, the speed of improvement was faster than the previous hundred years.
“As long as the Great Dao of Fate reaches 10%, it can immediately smelt the other aspects of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and increase the Great Dao of the Chaos Hole to 30%!” With a clear virtual box display, Shen Ping was full of energy. “It’s a pity that the power of fate can only be obtained from my wife at the moment. It would be even better if I could obtain it from others!”
Although his wife was a luminarist, it was difficult for her to exercise for a long time every day. She had to rest.
